About the host

Host profile image
Our family feels so lucky to have this little riverfront cottage. We’ve spent countless good times here, and this is our first time sharing it on Vrbo. We hope you enjoy it just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This cottage sits right on the river, surrounded by peaceful water views, tall trees, and that quiet, cozy feeling you only get in nature. Mornings here are calm and bright—you can sip coffee on the deck while watching the river drift by. Evenings are even better, with sunsets glowing over the water and the sound of birds settling in for the night.

What we love most about the neighborhood is how relaxed and welcoming it feels. It’s close enough to Fredericton and Nackawic for easy trips to restaurants, breweries, and local shops, but far enough away that you can truly unwind. Neighbors wave, the air feels fresh, and the river is right there for kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the view. It’s the perfect mix of peaceful nature and small-town charm.

What makes this property unique

What really makes our cottage stand out is the combination of peaceful riverfront living and the warm, home-style comfort you feel the moment you walk in. The cottage isn’t just a rental—it’s a place our family genuinely loves, and you can feel that in the details: the cozy layout, the calm atmosphere, and the way the river becomes part of your day from sunrise to sunset.
The setting is truly special. You’re right on the water, with wide open views, starry nights, and a quiet, private space to unwind—yet still close to Fredericton and Nackawic for anything you need. It’s that perfect balance of getaway and convenience.
Guests often tell us that the peaceful river views, the natural light, and the overall sense of calm are what make this cottage unforgettable. It’s simple, cozy, and full of heart—and that’s what sets it apart.
